San Antonio Spurs vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/28/26

Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs are in Milwaukee on Saturday for an early tip-off against the shorthanded Bucks. They’re looking to win an 8th game in a row and keep the pressure on the OKC Thunder as the battle for the 1st seed in the West continues. In the latest MVP ladder on nba.com Wemby has actually surpassed SGA for the top spot after he recorded an unreal 17 blocks over his last 3 games. His defensive presence has been something else this season, he’s almost a lock to win the DPOY award and if the Spurs can somehow take over the number 1 seed he could win the MVP award as well. They beat the Bucks 119-101 back in mid-January at home, this time around they’re 18.5 point favorites.

Part of the reason why the Spurs are such huge favorites is of course the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks also have Bobby Portis, Myles Turner, Kevin Porter Jr. and Kyle Kuzma all listed as questionable here. Their last 3  of 4 games have seen them get dismantled by the Trail Blazers, Clippers and Jazz by 31, 33 and 32 points respectively. There’s a 9-game gap between them and the 10th seeded Miami Heat, it’s only a matter of time until they are mathematically eliminated from any scenario of making the postseason. If there’s one thing the Bucks can hang their hat on ahead of this game it’s the fact that they’ve won 7 of 8 home games vs the Spurs, however in most of those games they were at full strength.

These Spurs aren’t messing around. They’re beating teams by an average of 16.7 points during this 7-game win streak, posting the 3rd best offensive and 4th best defensive efficiency numbers. In order to further help Wemby’s MVP case they have to continue winning, so I can definitely see them keeping their foot on the gas pedal and running over these shorthanded Bucks. Back San Antonio.
